The Best Boot Trend to Wear With Skirts and Dresses, Per Bella Hadid

Bella Hadid knows how to put an outfit together. This is very clear. So she's always a good person to look to when you want to know how to style a particular piece. Case in point: Hadid was out in New York over the weekend, and the early-fall-outfit vibes were in full force. She wore an eclectic mix that included a colorful striped cardigan, a tank top, a pleated miniskirt, and boots. It was an early 2000s dream of a look.
Speaking of boots, 'tis (almost) the season to wear them again, and we're taking notes for future reference. In case you have been pondering what style to wear with skirts and dresses, look no further than here. Hadid styled her miniskirt with chunky knee-high boots, making for the perfect transitional summer-to-fall look.
